My Husband's Socks

My husband has a bunch of socks

He wears to exercise,

They’re crew length, white and all the same,

The kind he always buys.

 

So how then does he pair them up

When laundry time rolls ‘round

And from the dryer, there they sit

In one huge messy mound?

 

No problem, since he’s found a way

To make a perfect match.

Each pair receives a marking

So it stands out from the batch.

 

The letters of the alphabet,

With Sharpies, are employed

To help identify the mates.

(Compulsive, Dr. Freud?)

 

Two A’s, two B’s and on and on

Makes sorting such a breeze

Until the socks get old and interest

Fades by some degrees.

 

So that is why I noticed

On my husband’s foot a sock

With letter C although its mate

Has P writ large – a shock!
